[00:20.27] [00:24.41]Lounging in their caftans [00:26.54]And planning a brunch [00:28.84] [00:29.97]On their own behalf. [00:31.96] [00:37.70]Off to the gym, [00:38.95] [00:39.89]Then to a fitting, [00:41.51] [00:42.76]Claiming they're fat. [00:44.94] [00:47.56]And looking grim, [00:48.69] [00:49.81]'Cause they've been sitting [00:51.18] [00:52.06]Choosing a hat. [00:53.86] [00:56.74]Does anyone still wear a hat?

[01:21.42] [01:24.80]Another long exhausting day, [01:27.55] [01:28.54]Another thousand dollars, [01:30.77] [01:32.39]A matinee, a Pinter play, [01:34.89] [01:36.02]Perhaps a piece of Mahler's. [01:38.29]I'll drink to that. [01:40.55] [01:42.11]And one for Mahler! [01:43.59] [01:47.23]Here's to the girls who play wife [01:49.28] [01:50.02]Aren't they too much? [01:51.96] [01:53.87]Keeping house but clutching [01:54.92]A copy of LIFE, [01:57.49]Just to keep in touch. [01:58.93] [02:01.95]The ones who follow the rules, [02:04.82] [02:05.63]And meet themselves at the schools, [02:08.39] [02:09.27]Too busy to know that they're fools. [02:12.27]Aren't they a gem?

[02:41.49] [02:43.48]When they get depressed, [02:44.74]It's a bottle of Scotch, [02:46.49] [02:47.24]Plus a little jest. [02:49.05] [02:52.56]Another chance to disapprove, [02:54.94] [02:56.25]Another brilliant zinger, [02:58.24] [02:59.93]Another reason not to move, [03:03.44]Another vodka stinger. [03:06.12]I'll drink to that. [03:11.27] [03:14.36]So here's to the girls on the go-- [03:16.67] [03:17.58]Everybody tries. [03:19.27] [03:21.14]Look into their eyes, [03:22.52]And you'll see what they know: [03:24.26] [03:25.01]Everybody dies. [03:29.29]A toast to that invincible bunch, [03:31.59] [03:33.28]The dinosaurs surviving the crunch. [03:35.51] [03:36.70]Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch-- [03:39.68]Everybody rise!
